This modern contemporary home by Bernbaum/Magadini is a perfect retreat in the middle of Dallas. Landscape by Hocker Design Group.
A residential architectural precedent illustrating the integration of steel cantilevered outdoor living spaces with a pool deck and ambient night lighting.
- What we like about this project
- The exposed steel structure of the upper outdoor wing doubles as a mounting surface for integrated linear lighting fixtures.
